Mount Pleasant conservation area is located on the exposed shoulder of Snape Hill below Harden Moor to the north of Bury. The settlement developed as an isolated factory village and illustrates an important aspect of early textile industrial growth in the Upper Pennine area. The Mill complex employed over a 100 people at its height.
The Mill has now been demolished and the village redeveloped to incorporate new housing which blends in to the stone terrace style of the original village. The conservation area covers the whole of the building group. The earliest surviving buildings date from the 18th century and substantial numbers of the buildings are statutorily listed including the public house.
